With four dogs I don’t have room for crates, so have a crash tested dog guard from Travall. In the Jeep I also have a divider, but they don’t make...
The Empress’s wicked ways continue with the pounding of my head this morning after raising a glass to her last night. Thinking of you all; even...
Haha, yes!! I play the “chase chase chase!” game with Willow. It’s “our thing”, the other two don’t get it. She’s such a serious thing that I...
Is she showing any signs of being receptive? Flagging her tail to the side if you stroke her back? During Luna’s first season, none of my other...
Precisely! Even better if you could work on them in the same room - so the one in the crate is getting rewarded at the same frequency as the one...
This was my first thought, too. Shadow and Luna are especially close and I've not committed enough to Luna's self control that she's steady in...
Strangely, I'm just looking into this right now, trying to find brands of G&C/GLM supplements I can get here and that are the best grade...

I came across this interesting article by Karolina Westlund:...
She's learning to love green beans. Cabbage was a big fat "no" to start off with, but now it gets gobbled up with the rest. Any green beans that...
I have some agility equipment in an online shopping basket, just waiting for me to hit "checkout" :D
Jumping up is often a sign of frustration in an adolescent. Making tasks easier and making sure you're being absolutely clear as crystal with your...
Yep, as @Beanwood says, it's a perfectly normal developmental stage. Your dog isn't really "pushing boundaries", it's just that you're not the...
She-who-has-no-name is settling back in so well, it's like she never left. The biggest difference so far is that I've changed the dogs over to...
